On long-term scout potential he's rated 53.3, ranking 74th of 134 in the Premier League. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (97.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Raya.

Judged on this season alone, Raya graded 91 — a standout campaign that ranks top 4% of the 30 goalkeepers in the Premier League, on 19 clean sheets across 37 appearances.

19 clean sheets in 37 appearances (51% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.

Outlook

With a Rating of 53.3, Raya carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 30. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
